Which statement best describes the impact of Poe's use of
repetition in this poem?
A It makes the poem sound like a song with a repeated refrain.
B The repetition creates a nightmarish sense of inevitability: the speaker (and the reader) knows what is coming but as powerless to avoid it.
C it pushes the reader to pay attention to the words that are not repeated.
D The repetition is only used on important words within the poem; Poe wants to call attention to those words, so he uses them frequently.
